The obverse (heads) with the button shank completely destroys any numismatic value.

Value $6 maybe, mostly because of the silver value.

I see a rescue opportunity, but after doing some serious research on methods.

jbuck, any luck on a rescue mission? I have a dime in my collection, with something soldered to the coin. I considered taking to a jeweler to see if they might be able to heat it up, and remove?
Rest in Peace

There is a way to remove solder, it is called a solder wick, a copper mesh-like wife wick used with a soldering iron or lower temp torch to soak it up off the metal. May not get it all off tho, would be tricky.

Only works with lead solder. Most coins that have been used for jewelry use silver solder with melts at a much higher temperature, higher than your solder wick melts at.
